After a careful review of the record, including the transcript of the hearing on the defendants’ motions for directed verdict on the issue of fraud, we are convinced that the facts of this case fall squarely within the principles of law set out and applied in Marshall Durbin Farms, Inc. v. Landers, 470 So.2d 1098 (Ala. 1985). See, also, Vintage Enterprises, Inc. v. Jaye, 547 So.2d 1169 (Ala. 1989).

AFFIRMED.
